A sweet 1980s coverup/wrap dress. It is made from a pale yellow poly/cotton blend fabric with a lovely pink floral pattern. The dress has lace trimmed flutter sleeves, a front v neckline with ribbon trim, and an elastic waist with an attached sash. A tie on one side ties to another tie on the inside of the waist and then two larger sashes tie again in front. This may have been a dance leotard coverup originally but it can also be worn as a swimsuit cover up or as a wrap dress, although it will require some sort of slip or body suit as the material is semi sheer and the dress doesn’t overlap a whole lot in front.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.
Information I Collect
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
* as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
* when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
* if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
* as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

* Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
* Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
* Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
* Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
* Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
* Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

Send an Etsy convo if you would like to set one up!
Offers on items recently added to my shop will not be considered. However, I may consider reasonable offers on items that have been in the shop for a month or more.
Most items are given a size in the listing, but this is just an estimate. Please review measurements for a better idea of how the item will fit you. Items are measured flat, pulled taut (to note the max measurement) and then doubled. Any stretch will be noted. Please realize that the measurements given in a listing reflect that of the actual item, and are not an indication of the ideal wearer's measurements. It is best to compare the measurements of the garment to another that fits you well. When comparing your own measurements to the garment, please allow for a bit of room for ease of movement and a comfortable fit.
Feel free to send an Etsy convo if you need more detailed measurements or have a specific fit question! I'm happy to help!
Most items have been hand-washed and line dried before listing, and should continue to be cleaned in this way for best results. Some items (such as certain 80s/90s vintage) may be machine washable, but feel free to send me a convo if you are unsure. Other items are best dry cleaned.
I am happy to ship to any country in which the USPS has not suspended shipping. That said, please understand there will almost certainly be delays due to COVID-19 and the package may not arrive for many months. Even if the USPS is still offering shipment to a country, that is not a guarantee that that country is currently accepting and/or processing international packages, and the package may sit in customs within either country indefinitely until the situation changes.
I will refund any package that is returned to me by the postal service due to suspended shipping, but cannot offer refunds for delayed or lost packages during this time. The international buyer must be willing to take on this risk at the time of purchase.
Although I will do my best to mail packages on schedule, I cannot control what happens to a package once it has left my hands. The USPS has lengthened their delivery estimates, but the buyer should anticipate further delays due to COVID-19. Please note that the potential arrival dates quoted within listings are only estimates, not guarantees. Furthermore, Miss Dorothy Vintage is not responsible for lost or stolen packages during this time, and the buyer must be willing to take on this risk at the time of purchase.
As a small, one-woman business, I am unable to accept returns for refunds at this time. However, I do accept exchanges!
